Re: Overlay of aim arrow & camera view locations

  Not sure if this is or isn't an easy suggestion to implement but here goes:

   

  I'd noticed it before but it never really bothered me until I tried to play a 30 second MPC round today.  In the overhead view on the lwer right of your screen at the tee box or from the fairway you have the various camera view buttons as well as the aim indicator arrow.  Sometimes these overlay each other and while trying to move your arrow you inadvertantly click for a different camera view when you don't need it.  It's not a big deal, but in a time crunch situation it can cost you 5- 10 seconds depending on what speed the game is loading that day.

  Is there anyway to have the aiming arrow appear ON TOP of the camera view buttons rather than under them?  Those camera view buttons seem hyper sensitive, lol.

  Thanks for the suggestion.  I agree that it can sometimes be a pain when the aimer gets caught under a camera.  I will pass this along.

  I raised this point a few weeks ago and it was acknowledged. Mario fixed the problem by turning off the cameras but I use them and aim in the mini map so it is a problem. A patch after the update that caused it fixed a few more but there's still places like Oakmont #12 where you have 7 cameras on the hole. The fairway looks like it's littered with hot dog wrappers.

  Develop a new habit, like I did. Move the aimer from the tee box anywhere before you zoom. It's faster than playing musical cameras.  :-)

  Yea, that's what I've been doing Jim & will continue to do so if this is a diffcult fix.  I was more asking for the sake that if it's a simple fix, it'd be nice to have done.

  I wish they'd get rid of the cameras altogether. I've never used them.

    And I really wish they`d bring Back a lot of the cameras that were removed. It helps to have a better perspective of the landing zone and the course in general. It also brings the course more to life, rather than a flat, static playing ground. I feel that I`m playing with tunnel-vision or blinders on without more cameras.

    One suggestion (that may have been made already) would be to set the camera icons to the right side of the mini-map, thereby freeing up the map(so it can be seen! ) and have an even Easier access to the aim AND cameras...

    This seems to be the best solution ( to me :) ) to All concerns and it would "clean up" the look in general as an added bonus! As it is now, it looks (and IS) very cluttered and unprofessional, not to mention Very user-Unfriendly!

  Coming up on 4 years later and this still is not fixed!

  WGT, please make a change to this such as:
  1) make the camera icons' sensitivity area for mouse-over and clicking smaller in size
  and/or
  2) swap the draw priorities and mouse-over / click priorities for the camera and aiming triangle icons, so that when co-located the triangle will be picked up by default rather than the camera.
